Summer Vacation in Florida

We went to Florida for our summer vacation this year.

Our first tour was of the Kennedy Space Center. The boys loved all the BIG things to observe. We saw the Endeavour shuttle (the one that launched this summer) on it's launch pad along with MANY other cool educational items to observe.










We then went on to the MAGIC KINGDOM.....




We visited Pooh Corner, Mickey and Minnie' house.....






...all the kids had such great smiles the entire day....until....







....Alyssa's lack of patience. The DREAMS COME TRUE show finally started and once Alyssa saw ALL the beautiful princesses she couldn't take her eyes (hidden behind her new Tinker Bell sunglasses) off the stage.







We stayed until the very end of the night to watch the light parade, the fireworks and of course to get just one more glimpse of Cinderella and her beautiful castle.





Nightlife in Orlando! (Wow, how 'nightlife' has changed!!)






We couldn't leave Orlando without visiting Shamu and his friends!








A picture of a picture of Brady and I riding Atlantis-a cool water ride!!




It was SOOOO hot, that Alyssa finally took advantage of the 'misters', although she didn't just mist off....she really got soaked!!!



We did get our fill of the beach for about 1/2 an hour. While waiting for our flight to leave Ft. Laurderdale, we drove to Maimi Beach and searched for seashells.
